instruments appointing a proxy or ballots for a meeting of owners that are submitted at the meeting; and,

other records as specified in regulations or the condo corporation’s by-laws.

In addition, prospective buyers and their agents also have a right to access certain records.

Examples of common records issues include:

not being able to get access to a record; or,

disagreeing with the fee the condo corporation is charging to provide a copy of the records.

As of November 1, 2017, there is a new Government of Ontario mandatory form that must be used to request access to, or copies of, condominium corporation records. You can request either paper or electronic copies. Common disputes about records usually arise when there is an issue about whether someone has a right to access records, and the types and quality of the records being kept. Complaints concerning records disputes can now be resolved at the Condominium Authority Tribunal (CAT).
